Choosing Anatomical Donation

Professional Standards

In addition to the direct benefits to your family, you can expect from LifeLegacy Foundation:

Integrity:

Tissues are recovered by specially-trained personnel. Both the donor and family are treated with respect and dignity.

Ethical Standards:

Medical researchers and academic institutions undergo a stringent application process with LifeLegacy Foundation in order to qualify to receive organs and tissues. Potential users must demonstrate scientific merit by submitting a research synopsis of intended use of tissue, as well as IRB (Internal Review Board) approval where applicable, and adhere to LifeLegacy standards. Donor anonymity is always maintained.

Caring:

In recognition of the heartfelt generosity of donor families, LifeLegacy has a "donor family support coordinator" who personally assists families before and after the donation. Our concern and attention does not end when the donation process is completed.

Service:

Being a nonprofit charity, LifeLegacy's main purpose is to provide outstanding service to all of our partners. We strive to serve our partners in a professional, efficient and courteous manner, with the hope of contributing to the universal effort to save, extend and enhance the quality of life through the advancement of medical research and education.
